What: Stockmann's Temepere department store has updated its lighting, replacing obsolete halogen lamps with 3D-printed LED spotlights manufactured from recycled material.

Why it is important: The adoption of 3D-printed LED spotlights made from recycled materials is important to boost a circular economy and minimise carbon footprint.

Stockmann's Tampere department store has recently replaced its old halogen lamps with 3D-printed LED spotlights made from recycled materials. This lighting renewal is expected to result in major savings in electricity consumption, reducing energy consumption by 668,000 kWh per year. The 3D-printed LED lights have a 75% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional metal lights and are made from 100% recycled materials such as old fishing nets and CDs. The department store aims to promote the circular economy by extending the life cycle of products and offering services like personalized fashion and repair for new and used clothes.
